Description

The rock here is sandstone. It hasn't had a lot of traffic in the last 10-20 years. Some of the stuff doesn't have top anchors so bring stuff to make your own anchors.

Getting There

Once you hit the first light in Waterflow when coming from Farmington then take a right and drive about 0.1 miles until you see a dirt road on your right. Then hike back toward the light along the cliff till you find the spire known as the "Money Spire".
